re-hire Kimi

No those who have an unnatural hatred of Hamilton are baiting..... My favorite driver is, FWIW, Kimi. But Hamilton has been driving exceptionally well, he isn't going anywhere for awhile so a few of you need to get over it. Constantly bashing him or Mercedes doesn't help Ferrari one bit and it drags the board down.

 

Perhaps we should take Kimi at his (laconic!) word. He really does enjoy racing.

After Ferrari, I can imagine Alfa feels like a reprieve. He has a car to develop, other (similar) cars to race, and far less scrutiny than when he was driving the red cars.

 

Your statement made me just realize for how many different teams he drove in his career. Totally forgot about Lotus. Makes him all the more cooler.

 

Well not that much, actually: Sauber, McLaren, Ferrari, Lotus. And he came back twice, once to Ferrari, once to Sauber. In almost twenty years of career, four teams is not much, is it?

I like Kimi.
But there is a lot of future upside to Leclerc. They have to take the leash off him and let him and vettel earn the top dog spot. It’s a new season, new driver, new manager. Put aside the old ways and see what you have.

 

I suppose that Ferrari will break the contract with Vettel at the end of the season.
Who should be the replacement?

 

This might be a bad day for Chuck to ask for a pay rise. However, there is no doubt in my mind the team loves him, warts and all.

 

I doubt if they will do that; it would cost them too much, IMO. But you may be right.
Plus, who would be available?
Most drivers are contracted until the end of 2020.
Then Ricciardo may be available perhaps? Or Bottas if he is not kept at Mercedes (which I doubt).
I am wondering when Verstappen's contract expires; if he don't win at Red Bull, he may try his luck at Ferrari, but preferably at Mercedes.
This is the aspect of F1 I like most: tranfert time and all the spéculations that go with it !!!

 

I don't know. Ricciardo is hardly shining at Renault. Makes me wonder how much was the car flattering him at Red Bull. But, in fairness, so much of it is down to the car and not the driver now.

 

Any guy who shows at an event hammered and has a ball is my kind of guy. Kind of like Tony Stewart and sprint cars. He is doing what he loves.

 

We can dream.

 

Plus, i don't like him..just take Ocon instead..h's just as good but with a brain...and he won't be gettin the gig at Merc by the looks of it..

 

Yep, that sounds like a very objective reason ...

 

It is...
